After Our Arranged Marriage, We Were United in Name but Divided at Heart

An imperial edict bound Jiang Wanning, the legitimate daughter of a marquis, to Lu Zhaoran, a cold-faced, powerful official.

She thought they could treat each other with respect and live in peace, but reality gave her a cruel slap in the face.

That day, the child in her womb became a pool of blood, leaving her heartbroken.

But the man who stood high above everyone else didn’t even furrow his brow. He merely tossed out coldly, “It wasn’t even a fully formed fetus. Why are you so upset, Madam?”

Soon after, she heard that he was about to welcome a new bride into the manor.

Jiang Wanning’s heart finally died.

If that was what he wanted, then she would disappear for good.

“Jiang Wanning, where do you think you’re going?”

Dressed in black and radiating a murderous chill, Lu Zhaoran closed in step by step, trapping her in a confined space as she tried to board a boat.

Jiang Wanning’s face turned deathly pale as she backed away in terror. “Lu Zhaoran? Weren’t you going on a river cruise…?”

Lu Zhaoran sneered, his eyes full of mockery. “If I hadn’t said that, how would you have been in such a hurry to give yourself away? I’ve known all your plans for a long time.”

Looking into the man’s certain gaze, Jiang Wanning’s heart sank into utter despair.

She knew she couldn’t escape.

Much later, she died in their marital bed.

The powerful official who had treated human life as worthless held her corpse in his arms. His hair turned white overnight, and he went mad with grief.
